I waited for the social machine to die down before reading this on purpose since I've been sucked in before but I was pleasantly surprised by the book.
Anderson, I think, had fun with this since I was laughing from the first chapter and throughout the book thanks to the wit in her main character Mila mostly but each character has some moments.
Having experienced loss of loved ones, I felt a lot of what Mila felt. The turbulent emotions that go from grief to anger, hopelessness, and a myriad of what-if's that I had, she did too, but in her case, she was able to bring back her BFF and in the process two more girls that while unexpected turn out to be a good thing that lead me to a surprise twist that I didn't see coming.
